For the eager first-time traveler to this storied isle, a travel agent who knows the ins and outs of England's rich past is worth their weight in Tudor gold. So arm yourself with a curiosity for the past and let's delve into a curated expedition through England's most captivating historical sites. Stonehenge: The Prehistoric Enigma We begin our historical pilgrimage at Stonehenge, the iconic megalithic structure that has stood as a silent testament to prehistoric ingenuity for over 5,000 years. Your travel agent can arrange a visit that allows you to walk in the footsteps of ancient peoples, under the shadow of the towering sarsen stones poised in their celestial alignment. Here at dawn, the solstice sun beams through the stones, revealing the site's enduring astronomical significance.  Roman Baths: Bathing in Ancient Luxury Next, set your compass to the city of Bath, home to one of the best-preserved Roman bathhouses in the world. Engage with the lives of the Romans who sought the healing powers of the natural hot springs. The immersive museum experience, complimented by your travel agent's knowledge, brings to life the ingenuity and luxury of Roman society. Don't miss the Grand Pump Room, where you can taste the spa water and dine as Georgian visitors once did. Westminster Abbey: Coronations and Crypts Westminster Abbey is an architectural wonder and a site of coronations, royal weddings, and burials. Stand beneath its towering spires and stained glass and feel the weight of British history. Intricate tombs and effigies of poets, scientists, and sovereigns adorn this sacred space, where your travel agent's insight into the Abbey's legacy will make the stories of those entombed there come alive. Stratford-upon-Avon: Shakespeare’s Cradle Travel to the birthplace of the Bard, Stratford-upon-Avon, where timbered houses line the streets just as they did in Shakespeare's time. Your travel agent can arrange tickets to a play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and guide you through Anne Hathaway's Cottage and Shakespeare's Birthplace, offering a glimpse into the early life of England's literary titan. The Historic Dockyards of Portsmouth With sea breeze in your hair, explore the historic dockyards of Portsmouth. Gaze upon the HMS Victory, Admiral Lord Nelson's infamous flagship from the Battle of Trafalgar. With a travel agent to help navigate the warren of maritime history, you can also board the HMS Warrior and the remains of the Mary Rose, Henry VIII's ill-fated vessel.  The Tower of London: A Fortress of Secrets Make your way to the bustling capital, where the Tower of London awaits. With a history dating back to William the Conqueror, it has been a royal palace, a fortress, and even a prison. Your travel agent can ensure you have time to explore all its nooks and crannies, including the Crown Jewels exhibition, the White Tower, and the haunting tales from the Bloody Tower. Immerse yourself in the saga of Anne Boleyn and the whispers of bygone eras that permeate the cold stone walls. Hadrian's Wall: The Northern Limit Head north to the realm of the ancient Roman rule, where Hadrian's Wall stretches across the countryside, marking the boundary of the Roman Empire. From fortified milecastles to the remains of barrack blocks, the wall is a marvel to behold. A good travel agent knows the best-preserved sections and can combine your visit with an excursion into the life of Roman soldiers at Vindolanda. York Minster: A Gothic Masterpiece No historical tour of England is complete without a sojourn to York Minster, one of the largest and most magnificent Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe. A travel agent can help you maximize your visit, which should include gazing at the Great East Window, climbing the Central Tower for an unrivaled view of the city, and delving into the crypt where Roman and Viking remnants lie. Oxford and Cambridge Universities: Seats of Learning and Legacies Finally, Oxford and Cambridge's prestigious universities offer a window into England's academic ancestry. Wander through ancient colleges, with their hallowed halls and tranquil courtyards. Your travel agent can arrange a guided outing, informing you about the hundreds of years of scholarly pursuit and the extraordinary minds nurtured in these institutions.  The Travel Agent Difference
